Auction result misses estimated price range
This work of art by Henry Campotosto could be acquired at Christies in London in September 2002 for an unexpectedly low price. In the British and Victorian Pictures auction, the work A portrait of Princess Alexandra (1844-1925) adorned with roses and sprays of heather changed hands for GBP 564.00 (€ 896.33) - missing the lower end of the estimate range of GBP 600.00 – 1,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Henry Campotosto achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work The Bird's Nest in October 2008 with an auction result of USD 37,500.00 (€ 29,569.47).
Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne
Dieses Kunstwerk von Henry Campotosto konnte im September 2002 bei Christies in London für einen unerwartet niedrigen Preis ersteigert werden. In der Auktion British and Victorian Pictures wechselte die Arbeit A portrait of Princess Alexandra (1844-1925) adorned with roses and sprays of heather für GBP 564,00 (€ 896,33) den Besitzer – und verfehlte damit das untere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne von GBP 600,00 – 1.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Henry Campotosto erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit The Bird's Nest im Oktober 2008 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 37.500,00 (€ 29.569,47).
